September 🍁

In September the little kids started preschool and we all grooved back into a routine. Luke goes every morning: MWF at the same preschool as last year, and T Th at a new preschool. Elise started preschool for the first time and goes with him on T Th into her own class! 

Matt had his bday and did a fun run at the zoo with Lydia (1 mile!). Lydia started running club once a week before school, and is doing great in 2nd grade.

Luke's first day of preschool, year 2!

She's ready! Elise started preschool for the first time ever! Just two mornings/week. 

First day at the new preschool

Very excited in the drop off line. :) 

At the bus stop. Luke was cold. 

Hard to see, but Lydia and Emmi holding hands and running to the bus. :) 

Excited to walk into preschool together!

Luke's 'all about me' poster!
Lyd did most of it for him haha. They only had The Friend magazine to work with so lots of church stuff. 

Elise's first day of preschool (ever!)

She likes preschool (it's mostly a play group) and always runs up to her teacher, Ms. Katie. :)

Fun Run at the zoo! They had a great time and can't wait to do another one!

Such a strong finish!

Lydia's first race medal

Happy birthday Matt!

Luke is very into hero dress up these days!

Dressed up as Puss in Boots

One rainy Saturday we went to see a movie at The Byrd Theatre. 
They were playing The Sword in the Stone! So fun :) 

Matt led the YM in a shooting range activity!

Lots of outside play time as usual!

Matt and I got a babysitter and went out in the canoe one night. 

Dog Day at our pool!

Lydia got a kids' smart watch and has been taking lots of pictures with it :)
